Nebraska Cornhuskers MBB

I'll never get the fred haters. He was Instrumental in making isu mbb must watch TV and creating Hilton magic as a player. Then as a coach he brought isu back from the dead. He Revitalized isu mbb and left the cupboards completely stocked for the next coach to follow his dream of coaching in the nba.

Some real sour grapes for all he has done for isu.

'Must watch TV'?
 
Weekday games are going to have to be strategically scheduled to limit travel time and missed classes.
Part of the landscape now. The more spread out the teams are geographically, the more problematic.

I'm not sure the B1G or the media providers were thinking about the students best interest when they decided to expand.
 
I don't approve of fun in general, or anyone having fun. Fun is wrong, and it weakens character.
Mild satisfaction in making, repairing, or pulling up by bootstraps and the brief, non-expresses joy, of surviving another winter is closest I will get to endorsing ‘fun’
 
I noticed on the ESPN feed - #6 Wisconsin (puke) 16 -4 @ Nebraska 15 - 5 and my immediate reaction was great to see Hoiberg resurrect what was an abysmal start to his Huskers career. I recall a podcast with CW and Blum asking a realistic question if Hoiberg would survive beyond '22.

Even further evidence the B16 is not what is used to be...

Nebraska is so historically awful at basketball that Hoiberg will stay as long as he continues to recruit decently and bring in transfers. It's not like they have a rich history. Their program has made the tourney once in the last 25 years, has only made the tourney seven times, and has never reached the round of 32. The best pro player to ever come from Nebraska is Eric Piatkowski and Tyronn Lue, both of whom had a very underwhelming career as a journeyman. It's a good spot for Hoiberg where there's not as much pressure on him to win now. He has time to build something there and could land a bigger coaching gig in a couple of years. I'd put the chances of Hoiberg coming back to Ames at 2%, but he could end up at a much better P5 school soon.
 
How did Iowa absolutely destroy Nebraska?
Both teams Jack up a ton of threes typically, and both are subject to some wild swings.

This Nebraska team is not too bad, but they were 60 in the Net before this game, so probably by most metrics this game got them on the right side of the bubble. Neb has a good chance at the tourney but they have plenty of work to do.

Personally I think Wisconsin isn’t that great.

they arent the 6th best team in the league, but they need someone around to help prop up purdue and the big 10.

I can't tell why the sconnies are ranked so high in Kenpom et al. I guess it must be from their SOS which is pretty high. The only impressive win they have is an 11-point win over Marquette at home.

Good take. Although, I would argue Tyronn Lue has a more illustrious NBA career than The Mayor. Tyronn has two NBA Championship rings as a player and went 1-2 in the NBA Finals as coach.
